I have a DB2 query in a shell script which return an integer value, but I am unable to store it in a variable.

temp1= echo db2 -x "select max(id) from work.work_tb"

I am getting this output when I run it, sh -x test.sh

  • db2 -x select max(id) from work.work_tb
  • echo 50
  • temp1=
    50

So for some reason $temp1 is unable to get the value, I think its because the db2 query is returning value prefixed with \n. How do I get rid of the newline char and get the value to temp1?

    No, that’s not why.

    temp1=`db2 -x "select max(id) from work.work_tb"`
